I reckon that is a BA ... probably using it to test running gear or the mechanicals from the new model.

The black covers and other disguises are just to confuse everyone.

No it is definitely not a BA - the roofline is more rounded than a BA. Also the rear doors go all the way to the rear wheel arches which a BA does not.

Are you sure the doors go all the way to rear wheel arches? Have a look at http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/upl...vice_1_1280.jpg and zoom in.

It's difficlut to be 100% sure....

At least they haven't taken holden's lead to make the boot really short... in fact it almost looks too long?? Maybe the picture is stretched a bit :stirthepot:

Hey check out the new pics that have just been posted on the internet of the new falcon. Although they some parts are hidden with covers, you can still make out some of the design, but you can see more of the XR6 (blue car) looks pretty agressive from the rear too. Here are the links:

2008 Falcon link 1 - Car Advice

2008 Falcon Link 2 - Drive

Take a look at them and see what you think...

Cheers

It is difficult because you can't really judge the scale (nor the perspective) from where the pics were taken - some distortion of the dimensions are sure to have taken place. In other pics I have seen it does look like a BA.

However, if it is simply a disguised BA/BF which is running the Orion underpinnings then it begs the question "why would the body have to be disguised at all?" Really, no-one would give a second glance to an undisguised BA/BF body right?

There's obviously something different under the masking.

I love all the reference to "our spy pictures" in these articles. In fact if I didn't know any better I'd just assume it's some random that's been driving along and gone "oh f*ck, what's that" and taken a pic with their mobile phone.
